Same. That lamp has absolutely been licked before. You don't know by whom and you don't know how recently. If you're at least a tiny bit of a germaphobe, those statements should frighten you.
The high salinity should take care of any bacteria in short order. It may not be clean, but there ain't no bacteria on it!
iirc salt is a has antimicrobial properties. So if anything, then licking that salt, will reduce the germs in your mouth. So a true germaphobe would be all over that lamp
If you're a germaphobe then surely you should know that 100% salt is enough to yeet literally any microorganism to the back of beyond; in fact anything over 30% is
That lamp is more hygienic than your dinner plate, more than the inside of any food package and infinitely more than your hands even after you've just washed them
I think this is like when people say they have OCD when really they just like things tidy. I'm reality it's more about the ick than any germs
Yeah agreed that while you're more than likely not gonna get sick from it unless you have an allergic reaction of some sort, it's still probably dusty as those things are a nightmare to clean and so not a pleasant lick
If it's rooted in rational thought, it's not a phobia.
I'm afraid of hungry bears in the woods. That's not a phobia. But constantly checking your 17th floor balcony for hungry bears is.
well have you considered the fact that im stupid
If everyone thought that way though the lamp would never get licked
